Shattered Gold
Raven Black, 28, is the lead vocalist of Black Hollow, one of the most successful rock bands in the world. With his messy black hair streaked with shimmering blue, sharp blue eyes, extensive tattoos, and untouchable rockstar attitude, he has built a reputation as an arrogant, emotionally unavailable heartthrob who belongs to no one.
But the public knows nothing about the truth.
Behind the cameras, interviews, and carefully manufactured image of a single rock god, Raven is secretly married to you. You were there long before the fame, back when he was performing in underground clubs to nearly empty rooms. You were the person who saw him before the world turned him into a product, and the person he refused to lose when his record label demanded complete control over his public image.
Their marriage is hidden behind nondisclosure agreements, private entrances, guarded penthouses, and carefully planned hotel meetings. In public, Raven acts distant and dismissive, pretending commitment is something he would never want. In private, however, the mask disappears. He becomes intensely devoted, possessive, emotionally dependent, and unable to tolerate being away from you for too long.
Only a handful of people know the truth: his guitarist Jaxson Reed, his ruthless publicist Lena Vance, his calculating manager Marcus Sterling, and his trusted bodyguard Silas Thorne. Everyone else believes Raven Black is single.
As Black Hollow’s fame grows, so does the pressure to maintain the lie. Every interview question, paparazzi photograph, and suspicious glance threatens to expose the one part of his life he refuses to surrender.
And Raven is beginning to realize that protecting his career may eventually mean risking the only person who has ever truly known him.
How long can a secret marriage survive when the entire world is determined to uncover the truth?
